The solution that Thomas provides is a good one; I would however always have actual egg specimens in some protected hard-plastic or glass-topped container, with foam and batting cushions and lined with Tyvek to provide cradles for the eggs. The full-view boxes that are made of Mylar or other flexible plastics often do not provide enough protection from curious fingers. The one exception for actual eggs may be ostrich or emu eggs, but you probably should count on replacing even these every two years on average. Unless you have a ready supply of eggs ready to go in your pipeline, and can replace every 2-24 months, I would recommend purchasing some wooden replicas for the hands-on portion. There are several nature companies that you can look up on the internet who provide such.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Jeff Stephenson, Collections Manager<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Zoology<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Denver Museum of Nature & Science<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>2001 Colorado Boulevard<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Denver, CO 80205<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> <a href="mailto:nhcoll-l-bounces@mailman.yale.edu">nhcoll-l-bounces@mailman.yale.edu</a> <a href="mailto:[mailto:nhcoll-l-bounces@mailman.yale.edu]">[mailto:nhcoll-l-bounces@mailman.yale.edu]</a> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Thomas Labedz<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, June 04, 2012 6:48 AM<br><b>To:</b> Susan Gallagher; <a href="mailto:NHCOLL-L@mailman.yale.edu">NHCOLL-L@mailman.yale.edu</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Nhcoll-l] Help with Eggs<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>In the past I'd get fresh quail (Coturnix) eggs from a nearby lab and have students learn to drill a single hole and using a pipette blow the contents from the egg.
